He
shall
appear high
on a
throne
in
the
midst
of
that
bright
assembly,
and
say,
"
Father,
these
are the sheep
that
thou
hast
given me in
the
counsels
of
thy
eternal
love
:
All these have
I
ransomed
from
-hell,
at
the
price
of
my
own
blood
;
these have
I
rescued
by my
grace
from the dominion
of
sin
and
the devil
;
I
have formed
them unto
holiness,
and
fitted
them for heaven
;
I
have
kept
them,
by my
power,
through
all the
dangers
of their
mortal
state, and
have
brought
them
safe to
thy celestial
kingdom

"
All
thine are

and
they are
now my
everlasting
crown
and
glory."
Then
shall
the unknown worlds
that
never
fell,
worlds
of
angels and
innocent creatures,
and the world
of
guilty
devils and condemned rebels,
stand and wonder together
at
the
recovery and salvation
Christ
has
provided for the
fallen
sons
of
Adam.
They
shall
stand amazed
to
see
the
millions
of
apostate
creatures, the
inhabitants
of
this
earthly
globe,
recovered
to
their duty
and allegiance, by
the
Son
of God
going down to
dwell
amongst them
:
Millions
of
impure and deformed
souls,
restored
to
the
divine
image,
and made
beautiful
as
angels,
by
the grace
and Spirit
of
our Lord
Jesus. Those
spectators
shall be
filled
with
admiration
and
transport,
to
see
such
a multi-
tude
of
criminals pardoned and justified, for the sake
of
a
righteousness
which
they themselves never, wrought,
and accepted
as
righteous
in
the sight
of
God, by
a
co-
venant of
grace unknown to
other
worlds, and
by
faith in
the great Mediator. They
shall
wonder
to
see
such
an
innumerable company
of
polluted
wretches, washed from
their
sins in
so
precious
a
laver
as
the blood
of God's
own
Son
:
And he
that
hung upon
the
cross,
as
a
specta-
cle
of
wretchedness
at
Jerusalem,
shall
entertain the
superior
and
inferior
worlds with the sight
of
his
adorable
